Food Safety in Puerto Rico?

Question

I have read conflicting things about food safety in Puerto Rico. Is it safe to eat salads and fruits just about anywhere in Puerto Rico? Or do you need to only eat foods that have been cooked? We are going on vacation there in a couple of days

Answer 1

Oh go ahead eat anything. Puerto Rico water & food are perfectly safe because PR is a territory of the US. They have the same standards as the US. Fruits & veggies & tap water are all fine for americans to ingest. Just dont pick a fruit you dont know & eat it unless a local says its ok.
